Wanna run this with comrades. By default I run everything in Genesys and I think it would handle this well, but I'm curious if there's something that would be more lightweight and setting specific for it.
not really lightwight (nor is it heavy) but this kind of thing is explicitly what Delta Green was made for
I'm always into FATE for this kind of thing
Look into Savage Worlds
GURPS, Delta Green, F.I.S.T, or Twilight 2000
If you want it to be narratively driven there's certainly a PBTA strain out there for this. Otherwise this fits the bill for Delta Green almost perfectly. Stars Without Number if you file off the spaceships could do it reasonably well.
You might need to mess with it a bit but what about Twilight 2K?
shadowrun?
I think Brigador Killers had a ttrpg too. Might wanna look into that, even though the vibes are reversed.
Also depends on what you're going for - Power fantasy or gritty action with death around the corner? If it's the latter you could do with Dread maybe?
I tried Vampire The Masquerade where the GM had reskinned all the vampire powers to tech-stuff. Was pretty fun.
If it's a one-shot you could also do One Last Job. Lots of fun
I'd run it in GURPS with the Action supplements, since those are built around emulating 80s action movies. Disclaimer: I am a GURPS sicko.
